Hello! I have this IBM 5155 for a year now working perfectly and suddenly during power on I get one long beep and then two short ones, indicating a problem with the cga card, and then garbled text on the screen

Note that the character rom is different than usual, having a memotek chip (probably with Greek characters since this was found in a Greek factory)

Ok false alarm i just cleaned the slots better and now its working again😁
Another issue that i have though is that the 8088mph demo doesn't run (either from floppy or sd2iec)
It prints out thanks for running on original hardware and then the cursor blinks for eternity
